Values Cards: help your child work out what matters most to them and build a stronger sense of who they are

A free printable set of photo cards for children and teens. Your child sorts through them and picks the values that matter most to them. Children who know their values tend to have better self‑esteem and mental health.

Your cards will arrive in your inbox within a few minutes.

Example values card: kindness

What's inside

  • Printable photo cards, each showing one value, such as kindness, creating and freedom
  • Your child sorts the cards and shortlists the three or four values that matter most to them
  • Then you talk together about what each value looks like in everyday life. You can sort your own values too

From me

I'm Dr Lucy Russell, a child clinical psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. We use these values cards with young people at my clinic. Clear values give a young person a sense of meaning and direction.
